We hadn't bought tickets to Mont Saint-Michel, but there was a line to buy tickets on the day, so we were able to enter smoothly. There were no other tours that allowed us to visit Saint-Malo and Cancale in one day, so we were very satisfied. We had lunch and free time, so we were able to enjoy it at our leisure. The tour was very friendly and highly recommended.

Overall very impressed with my experience with Quentin. Excellent guide and appreciated his history and experience of the region. Would recommend again to anyone. Resonable price considering how much we saw. Down to earth guide and easy to chat with.

The trip was very pleasant, we traveled comfortably. I want to say special thanks to the guide, who is very funny, attentive and gave us a lot of interesting information. I recommend everyone to use this tour.

Nicolas made the excursion incredibly interesting. We came back with a lot of information and we must pay tribute to his talent as a storyteller! A big congratulations, I recommend +++++

The map was a little tricky to understand at first
